1. England vs Spain
Last time England and Spain met at a major tournament, the result wasn’t exactly satisfactory. It was during the final of UEFA Women’s Euro 2023 where La Roja were celebrating their maiden major trophy – but not without controversy!
Now it is different: when these two teams face each other again in the final of UEFA Euro 2025, both are looking to create their own piece of European football history.
Statistically, these teams are evenly matched. Both have scored many goals and conceded three. England holds an edge defensively while Spain stands out with their dynamic attacking play that creates many chances and often scores multiple goals during tournament play.
Both England and Spain possess extensive international knockout game experience; however, England holds an edge due to their superior squad quality and depth, having participated in more tournaments. Furthermore, England have shown they possess greater experience playing in finals having made it to the semi finals at World Cup and won Euro Championships.
England are an admirable team, evidenced by their fightback to defeat Spain on Sunday. Although second best for much of the match, England refused to concede and never gave up; that spirit ultimately won them victory. Lucy Bronze also put herself out there by going down multiple times due to an injured tibia throughout the match and winning an important penalty shootout win that cemented England’s victory.
2. England vs Portugal
England versus Portugal is more than just a soccer match – it’s an intense rivalry that continues to shape narratives within football culture. Their games showcase different styles with England’s physicality pitted against Portugal’s finesse; and have long been remembered by English fans, especially at major tournaments like Euro 2004 and 2006 where both teams made it to quarter-finals of tournaments like these.
Below you can see the head to head records between these two sides at senior, youth, and Olympic levels as well as how many titles have been won by both. The Young Lionesses made an encouraging start in this match when Freya Godfrey’s curled cross almost found Isobel Goodwin; however they quickly lost momentum as Nadia Bravo fired the visitors ahead with a composed finish in the eighth minute.
3. England vs France
England and France share one of the longest, most significant, and ongoing rivalries in history. Since 8 centuries they have battled each other over control of Western Europe and then of world affairs. Their rivalry can still be found today as both nations vie for influence over many cultural and sporting areas including football pitch.
Both teams in this tournament have created numerous chances, but France has scored less goals. This may be due to how their respective chances were created; France tends to pass directly to their wingers with one-v-one passes and trust their speed to break into the box while England are more active off the ball with defensive challenges, air challenges won, tackles won and ball recoveries in opponents’ half.
4. England vs Germany
Germany and England first faced off officially since 1899 in official international matches, creating an ongoing rivalry on the football pitch. Their heated rivalry has endured for decades with several memorable moments like Michael Owen’s three hat-trick performance against England in an official World Cup qualifier in 2001 that resulted in their 5-1 defeat.
At the 2010 World Cup in Bloemfontein, England and Germany met for one last competitive game and it resulted in an emphatic German 4-1 win for them, leading to Frank Lampard’s famous “ghost goal”, leading ultimately to modern goal-line technology being implemented into modern football.
At this juncture, tensions between Germany and England intensified significantly. England were seen as underdogs against reigning world champions Germany in this quarterfinal match-up of the tournament.
England rallied from being down 2-0 to draw even in extra time thanks to goals by Peter Beard and an unsuccessful penalty kick from David Platt.
Although England made a late comeback, they ultimately came up short as Germany won in extra time via penalty shootout. German tabloid newspaper Bild proudly declared this news on its front page that Wembley was now German territory.
5. England vs Switzerland
England and Switzerland last faced off at a major tournament back in May 1981 – though England did win that head-to-head contest! England will look to extend their unbeaten streak against Switzerland by making this quarterfinal match winnable.
Gareth Southgate will aim to improve his side’s listless performance against Slovakia in their 1-0 defeat, following Jude Bellingham’s late overhead kick that levelled the match at 1-1 after 90 fruitless minutes. Southgate made 10 changes from his team that held Olympic champions USA goalless, so will hope for better from young team containing Chelsea midfielder Ruby Mace (born England) and Tottenham forward Laura Blindkilde-Brown making their Lionesses debuts.
England may not compare favorably with Germany, Italy and France when it comes to tournament performance; however Trent Alexander-Arnold’s penalty shootout win against Belgium in the Nations League final has given them hope ahead of this crucial fixture with Switzerland which may determine their fate in the final four.
